Superflash One Shots

Proposal

Star City, Oliver's Loft…

"I just don't know if I should do it, Oliver. I had this ring for a whole freaking year and I still don't know if it's the right time to ask her, I don't even know what I should say to her." Barry complained to Oliver, who was silently listening to his friend rant endlessly. They have been talking for hours now, it's a good thing that the city was quiet tonight.

"Look Barry, living this life that we chose, we never get a good time, there is only the calm before the storm. And it is calm right now, Central City is once again saved by the Flash and National City is saved by Supergirl. There is no better time to pop the question than now." Oliver said thoughtfully, making Barry reconsider his decision.

"Alright, you're right, Oliver. I'll do it. I'll propose to her." Barry said, standing up from the couch they were sitting on, while Oliver did the same with a relieved smile. Oliver patted his friend on the back in congratulations. 

Barry immediately sat down once again, doubt and nervousness visible from his eyes. "No, I can't, Oliver. What if she says no? I don't think I can take that kind of rejection."

Oliver, who had enough of Barry's nerves, picked up from his collar and said, "If you don't propose to her no later than tomorrow, so help me god, I will shoot you again with two arrows in the back. No scratch that, I'll make three or four for good measure. Are we clear?" Barry, who's eyes wide open at Oliver's threat, nodded his head frantically. "Now, that you have finally decided and won't change your mind, we need to prepare for tomorrow."

Oliver freed Barry from his grasps and fixed his clothes before giving him a small smile.

"Let's get to work."

National City, Kara and Barry's Apartment…

"I'm so glad that we are finally getting a sister's night after almost a year, we have not watched Homeland and ate pizza together for so long. I really missed this." Kara said while grabbing a slice of pizza from one of the five boxes that they ordered.

"I'll drink to that," Alex told her sister before taking a sip of her beer. "So, How is your relationship with Barry?"

"It's fine," Kara said, a crease forming eyebrows as she took another bite of her slice of pizza.

"Oh, it's bad, huh?"

"No, I just told you it is fine."

"Well, your face says otherwise." Alex got closer to her sister and pointed between her sister's eyebrows. "You have a crinkle."

"I need to figure out how to get a botox for that," Kara complained.

"Come on, sis, spill."

"Okay, you know that me and Barry have been dating for, what, three years now, right?" Kara asked, receiving an acknowledged noise from Alex. "I just think that he would ask me to marry him anytime now."

"And?"

"And I keep dropping up hints every now and then but he's just so dense," Kara said before she took a whole box of pizza and ate a piece.

"You two are perfect for each other, huh?" Alex said with a smirk, dodging the pillow Kara threw her way. "Also, why don't you propose to him yourself?"

"What? Don't you think that's weird?" Kara asked, unsure about her sister's idea.

"Well, if he's as dense as you are, then propose to him yourself." 

"I'll think about it."

The Next Day...

Barry and Oliver spent all of yesterday preparing Barry's proposal dinner. Oliver called in a few favors and got Barry and Kara's apartment, it was all glammed up for the occasion; scented candles were lit, the lights were out, and the lasagna was straight out of the oven.

Now, Barry is standing in front of the door, waiting for his girlfriend to arrive. She wanted to dress up and went to Alex's to prepare there. She was running a bit late but that was fine, he would-

The door opened and Kara walked in wearing a blue sundress, her hair was down and she was wearing light make-up. All in all, she looked gorgeous.

"Hey, sorry I was late, I didn't know what I should wear." Kara nervously said, walking towards him while shyly fiddling with her glasses. "You, um, you clean up nice."

Barry can't help but blush and smile at her words. He rubbed the back of his neck, preening at her compliment.

"Thanks, you look beautiful."

"Thanks."

"Shall we?" Barry held out his hand and Kara took it, letting him guide them towards the kitchen where the food was waiting for them.

"-and I told them something about a cute cat video," Kara told her boyfriend, laughing as she did so. "Ms. Grant just looked at me and to be honest, I was more scared than I ever was my entire life during that moment, and there was a time that included me flying into space and trust me, space is scary."

Barry laughed at her story, his mind drifting away from his doubts. He loves her with all of his heart.

Once the laughter died down, both of the superheroes looked at each other's eyes and got lost in it. At that moment, they knew, they were going to spend the rest of their life standing by each other.

"We need to talk."

"We need to talk."

Both heroes looked at each other before laughing incredulously. 

"You first."

"You first."

"Fine, I'll go first." Kara quickly said before they could say the same thing again. She stood up from her seat and pulled Barry up so he could stand too. "Look, I don't know if you noticed but I was dropping hints of me wanting to get married."

"I know, ever since from the beginning, you weren't being subtle at all."

"Yes, I was."

"No, you weren't. The first time you hinted at it, you literally said that you can't wait for us to get married." Barry laughed at her girlfriend's pouting face.

"Okay fine." Kara relented. "Look, I don't know how to do this and I'm done waiting for you to do it, so here it is," Kara got down on one knee and held one of Barry's hands. "Bartholomew Henry Allen, will you marry me?"

Barry, who was watching Kara kneel, can't help but laugh, which made the Kryptonian rethink her decision and quickly stood up.

"You're laughing. See, I told Alex the idea is weird but she kept-" Kara was cut off by Barry's lips pressing against hers. The kiss was quite awkward in the start but the awkwardness quickly dissipated once Kara returned the kiss.

"Yes," Barry said after pulling away from the kiss. "A thousand times yes."

"Really?"

"Yes,"

"Let's buy a ring tomorrow," Kara said, wrapping her arms around Barry in pure joy. "We're engaged!"

Barry returned the hug, though he pulled away to grab something from his pockets, it was a black box and when Kara saw it, it hit her like a ton of brick traveling in Mach 4, "This is my mom's wedding ring and Joe held on to this after she died, Oliver and I spent all of yesterday to prepare for tonight." He took out the ring from its box and he put it in Kara's ring finger.

"It's beautiful," Kara commented as she looked at the ring. "I love you so much."

"I love you too,"
